背景技术Background technique
近年来,高分辨率显示装置是显示领域的发展趋势,显示面板的分辨率(Pixel per inch,PPI)与阵列基板的像素开口率有关,而阵列基板的像素开口率与薄膜晶体管的尺寸及单位面积薄膜晶体管的数目相关,薄膜晶体管所占区域越大,像素开口率就越低,显示面板的分辨率越低。然而,受限于薄膜晶体管的工艺线宽和布线的限制,高分辨显示装置的发展受到限制。In recent years, high-resolution display devices are the development trend in the display field. The resolution (Pixel per inch, PPI) of the display panel is related to the pixel aperture ratio of the array substrate, and the pixel aperture ratio of the array substrate is related to the size and unit of the thin film transistor. The area is related to the number of thin film transistors. The larger the area occupied by the thin film transistors, the lower the pixel aperture ratio and the lower the resolution of the display panel. However, the development of high-resolution display devices is limited by the limitation of the process line width and wiring of thin film transistors.
因此,有必要提出一种技术方案以提高显示装置的分辨率。Therefore, it is necessary to propose a technical solution to improve the resolution of the display device.
